EPISODE 230 | THE INSIGHT | The VISIONARY | SOCRATES | The Power of Questions



INTRO |



Welcome back to The Visionary Chronicles. Today we're doing something different. We're going back 2,500 years to explore a leader who never built a company, never scaled a global brand, and never held an executive title—yet his methods and principles are more relevant to modern leadership than ever before.



Today, we're talking about Socrates.



Now, I know what you might be thinking: "What does an ancient Greek philosopher have to do with building generational companies in today's marketplace?" Everything. Absolutely everything.



This episode is drawn from my new book, The Visionary Leader, which explores not just modern business leaders, but the timeless principles that separate Visionaries from managers across all of human history. If today's discussion resonates with you, I encourage you to pick up a copy—it's available now at all major retailers.



 



Discover how Socrates’ power of questions can transform your leadership. Dive into visionary principles, real-world examples, and actionable insights. Share your thoughts below!
